Re: MappingTool help

 I am trying to use MappingTool with a JDO file named package.jdo to  
 generate the package-mysql.orm and create the tables in my  
 database, the orm file is created succesfully with one exception,  
 the table name is not what i expected with subsequent call to the  
 MappingTool.

The mapping tool is designed to avoid using existing tables and  
columns when mapping previously-unmapped portions of your object  
model.  Apparently you're deleting the mapping file periodically, so  
every run the tool thinks the model is unmapped -- how could it know  
otherwise?  So either start over and stop deleting your mapping file  
all the time, or if you want the table to be named something  
specific, just stick the table='XXX' attribute on the class  
element in your package.jdo file.  The tool will see the mapping  
instruction and carry it over to the mapping file.  I believe the  
docs cover all this in more detail.

And it seems that we are lossing focus, or trying to miss use the MappingTool, 
but we are thinking about it now.
